Adcom GFP-750 vs Parasound P/LD-2000 Preamps?


More opinions, please:Between the Adcom GFP-750 preamp and the Parasound P/LD-2000, which matches the best sonically with a Parasound HCA-3500 power amplifier ad Paradigm Studio 100 version 2 loudspeakers? Your impressions of them when comparing them head-to-head?

I own the Adcom. I tried the Parasound when it came out. If that's their statement pre-amp, (I believe it was), the remote volume control ramped up way too fast. It was an unacceptable fault for me......
The Adcom ramps up too fast for low-level listening in "active" mode also (in my opinion). It's not as bad as the Parasound.
I've never seen a reviewer comment on this. Poor reviewing! And poor field testing on Parasound's part....
I've demoted my Adcom to video, now I use a Pass X One or Pass Aleph P for music....
